Werewolf Haven

Casey is a normal boy with a lot of problems. His mother hates him, hes bullied at school, and he has no friends. He wants to be accepted but everyone avoids him. Casey is at home getting ready for school when his mother called out to him.

”Casey, get down here so I can take you to school. ” He put on his glasses and came downstairs. His mom is waiting by the door with her car keys tapping her foot. Shes counting down the time so she can get Casey out the house. He grabs his phone off the counter and walks to the door. His mother smacks him upside his head for taking too long. In her house Casey has a little sister that loves him, but his mom keeps her away from him. They get in the car and Casey has to sit in the back seat. He doesn mind because his mother won hit him as much. Ever since Casey was born. His mother did the bare minimum for him. Hed have food and clothes but wouldn get what he wants. His father gives him what he wants in secret. Knowing that his parents don acknowledge him never broke his spirit. Hes always been alone, so he gotten used to it. Some people call him the weird child because he never retaliated when people picked on him.

They arrive at school and Casey grabs his bag and gets out. His mother doesn say anything and drives off. He turns around and walks into school. Hes trying not to bump into anyone which is hard considering the hallways are always crowded. He sees the popular group, but one person mainly sticks out to him. Amelia Wesly. The most popular girl in school and one of the prettiest. He never talked to her before, but he will try too one day. Before he thought he was in the safe, the school football team stops him.

”Well, if it isn Casey the freak. Who were you looking at Frasey? ” One of the boys laughed which made Casey chuckle.

”Nobody Nate, I was just going to class. ” Nate grabs Casey by his collar and picks him up.

”It looked like you were staring at my girlfriend Amelia. I know shes the prettiest in the school but stop staring at her creep. ” He let Casey go and he dropped to the floor. They grabbed his backpack off the floor and opened it. They turned it upside down and all his books and papers, pencils, and folders fell out. After everything was on the floor, Nate threw the backpack at Casey head, which knocked off his glasses. They walked away kicking some of his books away to make him go farther to grab them. Casey grabbed his glasses of the floor and began picking up his stuff. Everyone passed him, walking on his papers leaving footprints. He manages to get all his stuff, but he was late to class. He walked into class as his teacher was starting the lesson, but the teacher stopped and looked at Casey.

”Mr. Hunter, care to explain why you
e late to class. ”

”Im sorry Mrs. Adams, all my stuff fell out my backpack and scattered over the floor. I had a little bit of trouble getting it while everyone was in the hallway. ”

”Take your seat, if you
e late again, Ill give you detention. ” Everyone looked at Casey as he walked to the back of the classroom and sat down in his seat. He looked up and Amelia was looking in his direction and smiled. He was about to smile back when Nate pulled his chair from under him. Casey fell on the floor, and everyone started laughing at him. The teacher stopped her lesson again and looked at the back of the classroom.

”Mr. Hunter are you okay? ”

”Yes Mrs. Adams, I just fell out my seat. ” Casey grabbed his chair and started to sit down. When he sat down, he noticed that thumbtacks were in his seat. He moved them out his seat then Nate called the teacher.

”Mrs. Adams, Casey is throwing thumbtacks on the floor. He could get someone injured. ” Casey turned around to look at Nate. Nate had a smile on his face and slipped a note in his hand.

”Mr. Hunter, pick up the thumbtacks and go to the office. Ill see you in detention. ”

”I can come to detention today; I have to babysit my little sister. Can it be another day? ”

”Nice try Mr. Hunter. I heard that excuse before now go. ” Casey picked up the thumbtacks, but one got stuck in his hand. He left it in and cleaned up the rest of them. He left the classroom and took it out. He went to the office where he sat there until lunch. At lunch they called Caseys mom to tell her he got detention. His mom was furious, and Casey knew he had to prepare for when he got home. He walked into the lunchroom and Nate was looking at him. He walked to the lunch line and Nate walked over and cut in front of him.

”Frasey, you mind if I cut in line here? Thanks buddy, I owe you one. ” Casey stayed quiet because he was still thinking about what his mom was going to do to him when he got home. Nate smacked Casey upside his head and his glasses fell off.

”Don ignore me when Im talking to you. Stupid freak, your mom shouldve swallowed you. ” Casey picks up his glasses and kept quiet. They got to the front of the line and Nate gotten the last of everything. Casey saw that he did it on purpose, so he walked away and sat down at an empty table. Nate and the group walked over with the food. To his surprise Amelia was also with them. Nate stands up and open his milk carton. He proceeds to pour it over Caseys head. The milk went on his clothes and in his eyes. He was soaked in milk and all Amelia did was take a picture and laugh.

”Wow, you guys are cruel. ” Amelia said. ”You really stopped him from eating just to pour milk on his head. ” Nate started laughing which made Casey get up and run out the lunchroom. Everyone laughing at him he sat in the bathroom getting the milk out his eyes. He walked back to the office covered in milk to see his mom standing there. She looked at him, then looked away to talk to his teacher. Casey sat down and after a few minutes his mom motioned him to come with her. They get in the hallway away from the office. Caseys mom starts beating on Casey. Punching him, kicking him, slapping him. She was in full rage not seeing the damage she was doing. Casey dropped to the floor, and she kicked him repeatedly until she heard a crack in his ribs. He had bruises all over his body. His glasses became crooked due to getting hit in his face.

”You
e walking home since you wanted to get detention. ” She stomped on Caseys leg but didn break it. It was hard for him to get up, but he got up eventually being late to class again. He walks in limping and the teacher stopped teaching again.

”Im sorry Im late again Mrs. Adams. ” He proceeded to limp to his seat holding his ribs because of the pain.

”Oh dear, honey are you okay? Amelia, take him to the nurse. ”

”Ew no, I would rather stick my head in a blender. ” Casey lifted his head and smiled.

”Its okay Mrs. Adams. Im fine, theres no need for me to go to the nurse. ” She sighed and got back to the lesson. Caseys eyesight started to become blurry, so he put his head down. He fell asleep but was woken up a few minutes later by a book being slammed on his desk. He jumped up and the class started laughing again.

”Mr. Hunter, Ill have to call your mother and have her come get you. ” Caseys face lit up with fear.

”No, don call my mom. Can you call my dad instead? Hell actually pick me up. ” Mrs. Adams sighed and left the classroom to call his mom. While she was gone Casey started to cough up blood. Amelia looked at Nate, Nate started to raise his hands and shook his head no. Mrs. Adams came back in the classroom and started teaching again. Casey started coughing up blood again, but this time it was different. Caseys mom opened the door of the classroom to see Casey coughing up blood. Since his class was there, she played the nice, concerned mom. She walked to Caseys desk who was holding his ribs tightly. She squats down at his desk and started whispering to him.

”Whats wrong with you now? I thought you only had cracked ribs. ”

”I do, but I think that one came out of place. ”

”You
e so useless, Ill take you to the hospital. Have your father come get you. Now come on. ” She helps Casey gets out his seat and they make their way out the classroom. Without knowing that Nate heard their whole conversation. He started texting Amelia on his phone while the teacher. He didn get a chance to send the message because the teacher took his phone. He couldn let her know what he heard without alerting Caseys mother, so he stopped trying. Casey and his mother arrive at the hospital, but she dropped him off and left. Casey walked inside and got the necessary treatment for his ribs. He called his dad, but he didn answer.
